Quantum Corporation anticipated these changes over a year ago and began evaluation of ESD flooring options as a replacement for their static dissipative ESD rubber flooring. In addition to conductivity, Quantum's needs dictated a flooring material that was economical, easy to clean and could handle rolling loads without mechanical failure (the original ESD flooring was rubber and failed miserably with rolling loads). Their choice: 62,000 square feet of ElectraGuard ESD Flooring Epoxy (3 coats) top coated with ElectraThane Metal Enhanced Sealant (2 coats) top coated with ElectraGlaze ESD floor finish (1 coats). The ElectraGuard Tri-Layer Esd Flooring System is much more resilient than mere floor paints although application and preparation are similar. It's warranted for lifetime conductivity. It's economical, long lasting, fully ROHS compliant and very resistant to wear from rolling and mechanical loading. The ElectraGuard System can be high speed polished for a mirror like shine or left as applied (as was this floor) producing slightly less shine (with increased slip resistance). This ESD Flooring system typically falls in the static conductive range (<1.0E06 depending on the substrate).
